43rd Annual Eau Claire Classic
June 28, 2009
Eau Claire, WI
Hey softball fans, it's elimination day here at Carson Park in Eau Claire for the 43rd Annual Eau Claire Classic. Teams completed pool play rounds last night as Midwest Stampede grabbed the #1 seed going into today. Farm Tavern was #2, Albaugh #3, The Bar of Appleton was #4, and The Bar - Green Bay #5. In the ISC II Division ASB-Villard was awarded the #1 seed, Wilber Lime #2, and the MN Angels #3.
Crowds were light on Saturday but steady as many fans showed up to watch Farm Tavern play in the afternoon and evening. Sunday morning we have bright blue sky's and a strong wind blowing out on both diamonds. We did have a quick game this morning in our ISC II Division with the MN Angels defeating Wilber Lime 8-1 in 5 innings. Kevin Kamamueler was the winning pitcher and has thrown all 4 games thus far for the Angels. We will see if he has one more in him as they move on to face ASB-Villard at 1pm today for the ISC II Title.
Our first game in the ISC Division pitted the two Bar teams (Appleton & Green Bay), when I left to field The Bar - Green Bay was leading 5-1 in the 6th. The crowds are starting to build as we move toward the finals for each division, looks like a great day for ball!
Still having those difficulties with our communications at the field, we will get those complete box scores out as quickly as we can.
